What happens to your BITS?!?!?!?!
 

What do you do with surviving scale bits ( instrument panels, other cockpit details, scale wheels & U/C legs etc ) when your warbird meets an untimely end? Do you pass them on, sell them or keep as a momento of your efforts?

I rarely throw anything away. Even little scrap pieces of balsa have come in handy for a patch here and there. Plus there is always somebody on RCU needing a canopy or cockpit , etc, etc, etc for a new build. If it weren't for the guys here on RCU sending me spare parts I'd never get one of these kites off the ground. LOL:D

If I'm going to build a smilar plane, I keep them. Otherwise, I sell them at a swap shop. Of course, if they're damaged, I throw them away.

I saved the nose art /side of the cowling off my "Little Freddie" P-51D and also the National Insignia and Plane ID #....
I am going to make a small shadow box with a picture of the plane in the background and the "nose Art etc " will be mounted in it for display.....:D
so...I am a little artsy .....;)

I keep it all unless crushed, splintered, fuel soaked or unrecognisable.
I have got a seperate, special box with all sorts of stuff.
Had to look three time before I found a retract I was after for my Mustang build.
